"What does it say?"
"… Visitor … Being able to come here … has proved that you have enough ability … This is the burial place I have chosen. If you are ready to welcome everything, open this door."
Tang En and Aiguin looked at each other. What did this mean?
Was there an enemy inside? Or treasure? Or was it just a joke?
Tang En hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Since we have already come here, even if it is a pit, I have to jump in with my eyes closed!"
Aiguin did not have any objections. She clenched the weapon in her hand and waited for Tang En to open the door.
Nola shook her head and said, "There is no danger inside."
"Shut up!"
Tang En took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.
The moment the door was pushed open, rows of candles automatically lit up, and the swaying candlelight illuminated the surroundings. This was a cathedral-like hall, with several stone pillars supporting the dome above. In the center of the hall, there was a high-back chair, and there seemed to be a person sitting on it.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
"It seems … there is really no danger."
Aiguin listened carefully. There was indeed no movement inside.
Nola felt very wronged. She stepped hard on Tang En's head and said, "I already said there is no danger!"
They carefully walked to the front of the chair. Sitting on the chair was a white-haired old man, but his body looked very strong. He was probably a powerful expert when he was alive.
Tang En did not think that the old man could still be alive after so many years.
Who was this person?
He chose a burial place for himself and then waited for his death here. How many people could have such a mentality?
Those complicated mechanisms outside, those crazy Four Elemental Guards … he could not be a nameless person!
At this moment, the sapphire necklace on the chest of the corpse on the chair suddenly lit up. Then the corpse opened his eyes, and two balls of blue sparks jumped in his eye sockets!
He stood up!
Aiguin immediately raised her long sword.
"I am … Wandering Swordsman Albern Augustine!"
"I am — the human closest to God!"
The dead man looked down at them, his dead body exuding a shocking aura.
"Visitor, do you have the qualifications to inherit my power?!"
What an arrogant statement!
What a domineering speech!
However …
He had the qualifications!
"Wandering Swordsman Albion?!"
Aiguin's eyes widened in surprise. "You are … the human closest to God?! In the first War of Chaos, he fought alongside the gods, received the title of Demigod, and saved Prandal's hero?! "
The Wandering Swordsman, Alburn Augustine, had been wandering Prandal all his life. He had learned and mastered the essence of various schools of swordsmanship in Prandal. He had integrated all the schools and finally created his own swordsmanship.
It was a miraculous swordsmanship.
In the first War of Chaos, he was the only human who could stand on the same side as the gods and fight against the invasion of Chaos!
It was said that after the war, in order to break through his limits and find a way to become a god, he embarked on the journey of wandering again. Since then, no one had seen him again.
No one would have thought that the final resting place of the human who was the closest to God would be under this forest!
"That's right! I am Albion! Elf, are you ready to inherit everything I have? "
Albion's voice was low and deep, with an aura of vicissitudes. He was clearly a dead man, but he could recognize Aiguin.
"Inherit?"
Aiguin was stunned. She shook her head and rejected Albion's suggestion. "No, I am an elf. Elves will not inherit the will of human heroes."
Then Aiguin thought of Tang En and said, "Compared to me, isn't there another more suitable candidate here?"
"Elf, inherit my will!"
Albion completely ignored Aiguin's words.
"I left behind the last bit of my consciousness to inherit the understanding I had in the last period of my life. Only those who have power that I acknowledge, only the strongest, can inherit my legacy."
Tang En's mouth twitched, but he could not say a word. There was no helping it. After all, the one who had been fighting was Aiguin.
"I used all my energy to pursue the true meaning of power, to find a way to become a god as a human.
When I entered the Legendary Realm, I realized that whether it was swordsmanship or magic, they only represented destructive power. They were far from the truth of the world.
After entering the Legendary Realm, the boundary between swordsmanship and magic became blurred. I began to have doubts.
What is' power '? "
"I knew that when I understood this question, it would be time for me to become a new god.
Thus, to find the answer, I studied the mysteries of magic.
I fused swordsmanship and magic together. This new way of using power allowed me to get closer to the truth of the world.
Unfortunately, I did not have much time left.
In the end, I did not succeed.
"However, I've discovered a brand new path that is filled with possibilities."
This path could be the path to the truth!
Thus, when the light of my life was about to disappear, I created this place and left behind the last bit of my consciousness.
Only by passing my test would you have the right to inherit my legacy and obtain the right to the path to the truth! "
Albion said and looked at Aiguin again.
"Elf, give up your current power and accept my legacy!"
If he did not need to give up his current power, Tang En would have thought of a way to accept it himself.
Unfortunately, he needed the power of a wizard. Whether it was in terms of fighting power or the convenience of building his territory, a wizard was the best choice.
Moreover, as long as he understood what he lacked, the boundary between a wizard and a warrior would disappear. He would also have great power. Thus, Tang En was not very enthusiastic about this legacy.
However, what made Tang En not know whether to laugh or cry was that he chose an elf.
That's right, an elf with no desire to fight and no ambition.
The existence of a race like the elves was inconceivable. They were a pure race that simply enjoyed the joy of life without any motivation to improve. If it weren't for the favor of the goddess, they wouldn't have been able to survive in the barbaric era that was filled with racial wars.
As the perfect creation of Goddess Nisclaire, the elves' state of mind was too peaceful and optimistic. It could even be said that if the appearance of Chaos did not affect the inheritance of the elves, they would not even have the thought of fighting against Chaos.
Therefore, Aiguin's choice was clear and decisive.
At this time, Tang En's heart skipped a beat as he saw Eliya beside him.
Aiguin and Tang En already had power. It was too risky to give up their current power to accept the legacy, but …
Elijah didn't have it!
If Elijah could accept this legacy, wouldn't Ellington have a powerhouse in the future?!
"Sorry," Aiguin rejected Albern without even thinking about it. "I still think it's better for a human to inherit the will of a human."
When Albern left the last strand of his consciousness, he must have not considered that he would be rejected, so he obviously could not react.
Albern did not seem to notice Tang En's existence at all. He only looked at Aiguin.
"Elf, give up your power and accept my legacy."
"That's why I said it's better for Tang En to inherit it."
"Elf, countless years have passed. My will is on the verge of disappearing. Now, only you can accept my legacy! Give up your power and accept my legacy! "
Aiguin, who was very gentle, was helpless. She had already noticed something strange about Albern.
Aiguin frowned and quickly thought of a solution.
However, the elves were not good at these things. She felt helpless.
At this time, Tang En came to Aiguin's side.
"Aiguin, do you want Albern's legacy?"
"Of course not. I'm an elf. How can an elf inherit the will of a human hero? If you want, I'm happy to help you get his legacy, but he doesn't seem to see you. "
"I'm not interested, but I want Elijah to accept the legacy."
"Elijah?"
Aiguin looked at the dazed Elijah. "I don't have any objections, but how do we do it?"
Tang En smiled and said softly, "The Albern in front of us is not a complete person. His soul has already dissipated. What's left is only a strand of consciousness. It should only have the ability to make simple judgments."
"It's much easier to deceive a strand of consciousness than a person."
"Albern is now like a program in an endless loop. He has identified you. Now, as long as we add the required variables, the problem will be solved."
"Endless loop? Program? Variables? "
Aiguin was confused. "What does that mean? Slang in human language? "
Tang En froze and laughed dryly. "You can think of it that way … It basically means that we help Elijah deceive his judgment and make him think that Elijah also meets the requirements of the legacy. Then, she can get the legacy."
"Deceive?"
For this elf with a heart as pure as crystal, this was a familiar yet strange word.
Deceit was often associated with betrayal. It was full of negative meanings.
However, to help Tang En …
Aiguin nodded. "What should we do?"
Tang En was worried that Aiguin would not be willing to help deceive Albern. He did not expect her to make a decision so easily. Tang En was relieved and smiled confidently.
"According to my guess, it's not hard to deceive his judgment."
"He thinks that you can get the legacy, but he can't see us. It should be because of the difference in power between us."
"I think his consciousness chose to send an invitation to the first person to enter here."
"But he must not have thought that the first batch of people to come in would be together with us."
"And you have been fighting just now, so he will automatically designate you as the successor."
"We passed his test together, so in theory, Elijah should also have the possibility of getting the legacy."
Speaking of this, Tang En's eyes showed an inexplicable excitement.
"Now, we just need to let his strand of consciousness think that Elijah is stronger than us. It should be enough."
